As per previous post both teams got an undercoat of black, and i'd started the barbarian flesh. At this point the models were looking, somewhat surprisingly, bare-minimum playable.
My goals were:
- quality target = quick and casual
- just doing Goliaths this session so can stick to one colour palette
- generally uniform (low overall colour count) with slight variations
Just starting work; using the white dwarf pic as a colouring guide.
Everything looking extremely bright and shiny with a fresh coat of leadbelcher (or armyPainter equivalent).
Blocking in some mephiston red. This was the last of the main block colours. As well as being part of the 'official' colour scheme it really helps in breaking up all the silver and black/grey.
Basically i went through and blocked in everything and then ran washes over everything.
Before the washes i did a little bit of fixing, detailing and 'small colours' such as browns for grenade handles, handle wraps etc. I didn't bother with dry brushing after washes or edge highlighting post-washes. The goal was 'quick and casual' (not 'dirty' but heading in that direction) so a bit dull and grungy is ok.
And... my final results. Quick bit of dry brushing added to the bases, but couldn't be bothered with anything fancy there; just looking to get the models done asap. My camera seems to have made them really stand out on the board (i.e. it didn't look like that with my eyes).
Overall i'm pretty happy with the results. Not studio quality but [shrug]. It definitely helped warming up with the zombie project in terms of focusing on multiple coats and washes. There's not a huge amount of straight edges in these models so 'organic' definitely suits them.
On to the Eshers in Part 3, probably during the week as next weekend is Cancon. Trying to keep my mind off that.
Until next time...
